Temperature Screening Walk-Through Metal Detector

What is a temperature screening walk-through metal detector?

It is a walk-through metal detector with an integrated infrared temperature screening module. As people pass through, the gate checks for metal objects and takes a preliminary forehead temperature reading. If the temperature exceeds the threshold, an audible and visual alarm is triggered.

Where it is used

  • Hospitals: outpatient halls and inpatient entrances
  • Schools: main gates and sports halls at peak hours
  • Stations and airports: temporary and staff channels
  • Venues and exhibitions: fast temperature screening at entrances
  • Factories and campuses: daily staff screening

How it works

The system consists of the metal detector gate, the infrared temperature module, and the alarm and counting unit. Metal detection alarms by zone, while the temperature module reads forehead temperature when a person enters the detection area and triggers an alarm above the configured threshold.

What to check when choosing

  • Detection zones: 6, 8 or 18 zones; more zones locate metal more precisely
  • Module mounting: pillar type or screen type, affecting passage width and appearance
  • Environment: outdoor use requires shading from direct sunlight and wind
  • Throughput: depends on gate width and re-check procedure; plan a re-check lane at peak times
  • Records: whether temperature and alarm records must be stored for traceability

Integrated gate or add-on module?

If a metal detector gate is already installed, an add-on temperature module is usually enough. For a new entrance, an integrated unit takes less space and needs simpler cabling. The measurement principle is the same; the difference is installation and maintenance.

FAQ

How accurate is the temperature reading? Infrared screening is a first-pass measure and is affected by ambient temperature and movement. Use it in a relatively stable indoor environment and re-check anyone flagged.

Can it run temperature screening only? Yes, metal detection can be disabled, but the gate then loses its security function.

How many people per hour? It depends on gate width and the re-check ratio; measure on site.
